Maybe he thought that this was a humorous conversation, but to Gu Zheng it was tantamount to harassment. If she hadn't been in a hurry to grab food in the cafeteria, she might have cursed at him. Afterwards, she complained to Han Zhou several times, saying that these boys in the university were really annoying.
Han Zhou also wanted to learn the guzheng now. He said that he didn't have a mobile phone, but he had received several calls under everyone's noses in the past few days. He couldn't say this, so he said vaguely: "I'm sorry, I have something urgent now, please ask my friend for my contact information."
He pointed at Chen Long who was standing there in a daze, and left in a hurry.
The reason why Chen Long was dumbfounded was that the girl in front of Han Zhou didn't look like she was forced to confess because of the punishment game. Her shy look, her flushed face, her determination to be extremely shy yet unwilling to leave... Damn, this was a true confession no matter how you looked at it!
However, he quickly cheered up. Han Zhou seemed to understand his thoughts. His previous words were undoubtedly helping him. At this time, what he had to do was to maintain his dignity as Han Zhou's friend and must not show any joy or excitement.
He stared at Han Zhou's back. Although he kept telling himself to stay calm, he was already so excited that he was talking nonsense. He shouted, "Be safe, be careful on your way, and go home early for dinner!"
Han Zhou ran faster.
Seeing Han Zhou leave, the girl who confessed her love was a little disappointed. She had to look at Chen Long expectantly: "Classmate, can you tell me the contact information of that classmate just now?"
"Of course, I have his Feixun."
Chen Long smiled heartily and was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed and he said awkwardly, "Oh, sorry, I didn't bring my phone with me, and I don't remember his Feixin number very clearly..."
"Is that so..." The girl hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Then can you give me your Feixin number? I'll add you when we get back to the dormitory, and then you can send me that classmate's Feixin number. Thank you for your help."
"No problem at all."
This was exactly what Chen Long wanted. He suppressed his joy and immediately took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote his Feixin number to the other party.
He has been carrying paper and pen with him these days just for this moment. It can only be said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
"Thank you."
The girl was overjoyed and smiled brightly. She was about to leave with the note in her hand. However, she was stopped by Chen Long before she took two steps.
"Wait a minute, I forgot to tell you just now that my friend doesn't like to meet strangers, so it's good for you to know his contact information, but try not to give it to others casually."
Chen Long appeared serious on the surface, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. He used the word "try his best" quite cleverly. It was estimated that when the girl returned to the team later, a bunch of girls would ask her for Han Zhou's Fei Xin, and she would definitely use what she just said as a shield to reject their requests.
But the other girls would definitely be unhappy about this, but it would be difficult to force them to say it out loud. After all, they had only been together for a few days and were not familiar with each other, so they could only find another way to get Han Zhou's Feixin.
What is this method?
Of course, he would go find Han Zhou’s good friend, Chen Long, and ask him!
Chen Long believed that the girl might not be willing to share Han Zhou's Fetion messages, but she would definitely not be stingy in pushing his Fetion messages to other girls, because in this way it would not be considered as her actively revealing Han Zhou's contact information, and she would not be pestered by the girl all the time, nor would she incur Han Zhou's dislike.
According to Chen Long's prediction, he will receive a lot of friend requests in the next few days. Although most of these people will come for Han Zhou, if he can hook up with even one girl among them, he will have a chance to find his partner in law at the speed of light during his freshman year.
And this is his conspiracy.
Chen Long admitted that Han Zhou was very handsome, but he was not bad either. As long as he showed a little bit of charm, this plan would definitely succeed!

Chapter 126 I Knew You Would Win
"It looks like it's going to rain."
Han Zhou looked up at the sky. The originally bright sky had become dark at some point. The sun was blocked by clouds and the air became a little duller. It seemed that it was going to rain.
Perhaps they also realized this, the freshmen who were resting on the playground became more excited, hoping for a heavy rain so that they could return to the dormitory to rest.
Han Zhou didn't care whether it would rain or not. After all, he would rest regardless of whether it rained or not. He had already escaped from the team where Chen Long was and took some photos along the way.
Of course, he was not the only one responsible for taking photos during the military training. There were many seniors who had professional skills. Therefore, Ouyang Lianyu did not have too many requirements for him. She just wanted to take this opportunity to make some new friends.
It's a pity that Han Zhou let her down. He didn't get to know many people in the past few days. The ones he did meet were basically girls who stopped him on the road and asked for his contact information, but he rejected them all politely. If the girl hadn't asked him in public, he would have worried that a direct rejection might damage the other party's face. Otherwise, he would have refused her in person without hesitation.
When Han Zhou came to Gu Zheng's team, he happened to see a lively scene. A group of girls were gathered in a circle and excitedly shouting "Come on", as if they were cheering for the people in the circle.
The tall instructor did not stop them from shouting, but stood in the crowd with his arms folded across his chest, watching with interest.
Han Zhou leaned over to take a look, and his expression suddenly became strange. He saw two girls arm wrestling on the lawn. This kind of scene was rare, no wonder it was so lively. Although she was wearing a loose military training uniform and a hat, he recognized at a glance that one of the girls was Gu Zheng.
Guzheng happened to have her back to him at the moment, so she didn't notice his arrival.
Han Zhou was a little puzzled as to why these girls were using their fists for no reason, so he asked the girls who were watching nearby.
The girl had sneaked over from another team to watch the fun, and she didn't really know what was going on, but she patiently explained, "I heard from someone that two girls suddenly started arguing just now. It seemed like it was over two stars. They were die-hard fans of the two stars. They were originally talking and laughing, but I don't know what they were talking about that got them arguing, and the argument got more and more intense, and they almost got into a fight."
"Fortunately, the instructor stopped them in time and criticized the two people severely. He originally wanted to punish them by making them do squats, but when he found that the two people were still unwilling to obey, he suggested that they arm wrestle. Whoever wins will have the right to say, and the loser will accept the punishment."
Han Zhou listened silently. The instructor's original intention should be to let the two people take a step back and stop arguing. After all, it is much more embarrassing for one person to be punished than for both to be punished together. Unexpectedly, the two people were holding back their anger and had to defeat the other to prove that they were right, so they actually agreed to the arm wrestling proposal.
In order to prevent the loser from being too embarrassed, the instructor simply turned the arm wrestling into an activity. All the girls in the team could participate, and the winner could rest for a while. So the situation turned out like this.
Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To Gu Zheng, "final victory" meant "getting first place". This girl might not care whether she could rest more, but she would definitely not give up the opportunity to compete for the first place. With her strength, it would be easy for her to get the first place.
And this is indeed the case. This is the tenth opponent that Gu Zheng has defeated easily. She has even been holding back on her strength for fear of hurting others, but despite this, no one has been able to defeat her.
It's just that these people are not familiar with the guzheng. If it were in high school, almost no one, regardless of gender, would dare to challenge the guzheng to arm wrestle. There is a reason why Lin Anyu used to call her "the strong girl" every day.
Guzheng sat on the lawn without moving, and each time she defeated her opponent with overwhelming advantage, looking like an undefeated god of war. The other girls were not fools either. As soon as they saw this situation, they knew that this girl was very strong. Those with less strength had already given up the challenge, and only those who were slightly confident in their own strength dared to step forward to challenge her.
The instructor looked at the time and said, "The break time is about to end. In the last three minutes, if no one can defeat this student, she will be the final winner and can rest for ten minutes longer than the others."
He was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this girl was not only beautiful but also so strong. She obviously didn't use her full strength but she easily defeated the others. If nothing unexpected happened, this victory would be hers.
Han Zhou stood in the crowd, quietly looking at Gu Zheng's back, his expression softened a little. Gu Zheng's competitive character might not be likable, but it has never been a shortcoming to him. Capable people should stand in the most dazzling place.
However, just as everyone was hesitating whether to continue to challenge the guzheng, a short boy suddenly squeezed into the crowd and said with a playful smile: "Can I add one?"
The girls watching were stunned and showed angry expressions. The instructor frowned and scolded, "This is a female team. Why do you want boys to participate? Which team are you from? Go back now!"
He forced himself to hold back the word "get out".
The boy smiled awkwardly, as if he was afraid of the instructor, and he shrank his neck and left.
However, as he left, a dissatisfied murmur suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Why can't boys participate? Obviously some people who are stronger than boys can participate..."
Her voice was not small, obviously intended for everyone to hear, and the direction of her words was also very obvious. The girl with greater strength than the boys was naturally Guzheng.
The instructor turned his head and asked sternly, "What did you say?"
The person who just spoke was a tall girl. Seeing the instructor's gloomy face, she not only did not shut up, but stiffened her neck and said unconvincedly: "Report! I say it's unfair!"
She pointed at Guzheng and said, "This girl is too strong, stronger than many boys. This kind of strength should be put in the 'boys' group'. It's not fair to let her arm wrestle with us!"
Han Zhou was really surprised. It was the first time he heard such shameless remarks. If you can't compete with someone in terms of physical strength, you can just expel them from the female group. This move really felt familiar. The problem was that you were tall and strong, and you didn't look like a player who could stay in the female group.
The instructor seemed to be confused by this and asked in shock: "Student, are you serious?"
The onlookers were whispering, obviously shocked by the tall girl's logic, but there were also a few girls who had personally experienced the power of the guzheng and felt that her words made some sense. It was indeed unfair to allow someone with such overwhelming power to participate in arm wrestling, otherwise wouldn't it be like pre-determining the winner?
The tall girl said loudly, "Linda is a top-notch university. Everyone here got in based on their grades. We rely on our acquired efforts, not our innate physical strength. It's too superficial to judge victory or defeat with such a thoughtless thing."
The instructor was so angry that he laughed: "What does this have to do with grades? If you feel it's unfair, you should have raised it at the beginning, instead of making a fuss now because you can't stand losing. Besides, didn't others get in based on their grades?"
His face darkened. "Alright, I don't want to waste time talking to you. The break is over. Everyone, line up and stand in line!"
He had heard before that one might encounter some inexplicable situations during military training, but he didn't expect that he would actually encounter one today.
But just as he was about to ask everyone to assemble, an instructor suddenly came running over from a distance and said, "Lao Yang, the chief instructor wants everyone to assemble on the rostrum."
Instructor Yang asked in surprise: "Why?"
The instructor lowered his voice and said, "It should be to tell us what to do after the rain. The weather forecast says there will be heavy rain soon. As for whether to arrange for the students to go back to the dormitory or go to the gymnasium, we are not sure. We need to discuss it based on the situation."
"What about the students?"
"Let them continue to rest. Let's go. I'm the last one to notify you. Everyone else should have arrived."
"it is good."
Instructor Yang took a deep breath and ordered loudly, "Everyone, continue to rest where you are. No quarreling or making trouble!"
He gave everyone a warning look, then hurriedly left with another instructor.
Everyone didn't hear clearly the conversation between the two instructors, so they didn't know what happened, but it was a good thing for them to be able to continue resting, so they were very happy.
Liu Qiumin was also very happy. It was much easier to talk without the instructor. He immediately shook his body and said to Gu Zheng in a sarcastic tone, "Now that the instructor is gone, some people won't be able to be proud for too long. The reward of ten more minutes of rest will probably be gone."
Gu Zheng just didn't want to pay attention to her before, but she didn't expect that she would take advantage of him. She said coldly: "I'm not as proud as you."
Liu Qiumin shook her head and said, "I'm serious. You should really consider my suggestion. With your strength, you should be put together with the boys instead of continuing to show off in our girls' team."
The short boy who had proposed to join the arm wrestling competition before suddenly appeared again. He looked at Gu Zheng and said with a smile, "I agree. Why don't you join our team and train with us? You will definitely be welcomed by everyone."
Gu Zheng frowned. She could see that the dwarf was obviously in cahoots with that girl named Liu Qiumin. He had just deliberately proposed to join the arm wrestling among the girls to cause a conflict.
She glanced at Liu Qiumin and said disdainfully, "You are really sensitive enough. When did I show off my power?"
"Isn't there any?"
Liu Qiumin sneered, "I've been annoyed with you for a while. Every time you stand at attention, you have to pretend to be relaxed, just to get the instructor to praise your standard movements. The same goes for marching. You have to act like you're working hard. I don't know who you're pretending for. The instructor has raised his standards for all of us, and it takes a long time to rest every time."
The girls who were watching the fun fell silent. What Liu Qiumin said was true. Guzheng was almost always praised by the instructors during the military training. They required everyone to follow her example, and the practice standards for everyone were indeed much higher than those of other teams, which made them exhausted every day.
Although most people think that this cannot be blamed on Guzheng, the instructor's high standards may only be due to personal requirements and have nothing to do with anyone else, and Guzheng cannot be blamed, but it is inevitable that some uncomfortable feelings will arise in people's hearts.
They had long been complaining about this situation, but they had never dared to raise it to the instructors, otherwise they might have to do dozens of squats again, so they had to endure it.
Gu Zheng lowered her head and said nothing. It was not that she had no way to refute Liu Qiumin's words. What did the instructor's high standards have to do with her? But this situation reminded her of her experiences in junior high and high school. She was not afraid of isolation, but the feeling of repeatedly causing trouble to the people around her made her feel a little guilty.
Even though she knew it wasn't her who caused the trouble.
"Curl, curl, curl. The whole class will curl with you."
"You must be very happy to have ranked first again. Haha, you are amazing. You raised the passing score for the whole class."
"Please, can you please stop caring about yourself? You've implicated everyone!"
"..."
Since junior high school, Guzheng has heard similar accusations more than once, but she never cared. If she wanted to always be number one, she could not stop for anyone. Besides, it was clearly not her fault.
But perhaps she had heard such things too many times, or perhaps because her parents had repeatedly emphasized before she left home that they hoped she could get along well with her new friends, she actually began to doubt her own judgment.
Are you really wrong?
Liu Qiumin looked at Gu Zheng with a sneer. To win an argument, one does not necessarily need to have the upper hand in reasoning. It is enough to pull everyone to the opposite side of the opponent. After all, it is people who drive public opinion. So as long as everyone is pulled to the same front, public opinion will naturally be controlled.
There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the trend of rain became more and more obvious. The sky was gloomy and the air was oppressive and suffocating, just like Guzheng's mood at the moment.
Just then, she suddenly felt someone putting his hand on her head.
"The hat is all askew. It's really outrageous."
A helpless voice sounded in her ears. Although it was a sigh, there was no blame in the tone, only gentleness.
